SpokenTruth said: Oh, I forgot to give you a key highlight from the Mueller testimony before Congress.Rep. Ken Buck, a Republican, asked: “Could you charge the president with a crime after he left office?” Mueller answered, “Yes.”
Mueller said a lot of things, some that contradicted his report that were pointed out in his final hearing...

"how would you react if I told you, that were you no longer allowed to perceive this person as being fat, because he demands that you perceive him as being fit and muscular... how would that sound to you?"
To me he is fat. And that is where it ends. If he wants to think he is hot then so be it. I could give a damn what he feels about...

Bringing this back from the dead because my kid is now at a point where I think some relevant things are occurring and I'm curious how those that think trans kids are being abused (not in the way most would assume) would deal with a couple simple scenarios that I think fall within "letting a kid decide their gender for themselves".So while at the renaissance fair (not my idea, my wife gets to...

It's a question of scale. Even if the tech giants are biased the idea that they are as biased to the left as neo-nazis are biased to the right is just ridiculous. I guess you'd call it a false equivalency that you are equating gender studies professors (making some assumptions on who in academia you take issue with but I'd say that's a...

So I guess my issue would be you have apparently defined the alt-right as only being avowed neonazis and the "far left" as a global conspiracy of academics and tech giants. In which case you are right, the left would be more insidious in that world view, but I would fundamentally disagree with the world view in the first...

Torillian said:
Yes, in what ways is the far left more insidious and less up front than the far right?
Well, look at what each group controls, right? The alt-right basically controls nothing. They are a small, largely insignificant group of people, relative to the population. I'm talking about the actual alt-right, not the new left's definition of...

I'd be curious to see this claim substantiated. What led you to this conclusion?
That the far left is more insidious in attaining their goals?

vivster said: Funny how the rightwing nutjobs always want to hide behind their "freedoms". Well, I wouldn't expect them to understand how a society works, if they did they wouldn't call for absolute freedom.Freedom of one individual will always infringe on another individual's freedom, so there is literally no way to have absolute freedom. That's why laws exist....

Eventually could be 20-30 years from now. If you think we are anywhere close to the end of movie theaters, you're out of tune with the current climate.
As for physical media, it's going to take a long time before that is no longer produced as well.
It will happen over time, movies theaters are closing all across the country and soon Holly...

While I do agree we need to decarbonize asap and that renewable energy should make up for a lot of that, if not all, nuclear can help us out a lot with our ever increasing demand of energy moving forward. We should at least consider it, not explicitly state in the plan not to and be anti-nuclear. How far are we along to making fusion energy viable...

deskpro2k3 said: Yeah, fuck Disney for the sole purpose of being greedy.@ that guy that said "Sony doesn't own anything"Back in 2015, Sony struck a deal with Disney's Marvel Studios that PERMITTED Spider-Man to be part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Spidey has been in 3 MCU movies so far and Sony cannot incorporate the character into its own extended universe until...

But I want for Sony to acquire From Software, Guerilla Games, Housemarque and Tarsier Studios because Little Nightmares it simply a master piece.
Why isn't Sony acquiring the studios I want it to acquire?
Well I've got good news about one of those at least:

>Democrats did create the KKK
In the same way that Republicans started abortion.

These are complicated issues, and simply putting the blame on Democrats is...

However, I guess it does allow SAPOL to pick those up with a noisy muffler easier... A noisy muffler is a good sign that the muffler is degrading and thus may have a carbon monoxide leak, which can leak into the cabin which displaces the oxygen causing asphyxiation... But that is the firefighter coming out in me.
Apologies for how pedantic this point is going to...

1) I'd never looked it up so I was unsure but a quick google seems to indicate that male prostitutes are 20% of the total. I don't think that's such a fringe minority that it can be dismissed.

On the second point "commercial receptacles for penises" I'm curious how your viewpoint takes into account the existence of male prostitutes.
Very easily on two points:
1) Male prostitutes compose a fringe minority of the total and you know it (i.e. you're dismissing the rule for the exception), AND...
2) The sex industry is the only...

>is the belief that women should be the public property of all men (e.g. prostitution, pornography, surrogacy, beauty pageants, etc
Supporting the legalization of prostitution, or supporting those other things doesn't promote the belief that women should be public property.
I've never heard of the idea that women should be public...

If you tell me that bombs are more lethal than crossbows, but I find a case where someone killed 6 people with a crossbow and that's more than some bombs take out, that's not a good argument.
Do you disagree that as a general statement it is easier to kill multiple people with a gun than it is with a knife?
I wouldn't completely...

Baalzamon said: 4 dead in southern California after a stabbing rampage.Those 4 might beg to differ regarding the lethality argument used earlier when discussing guns vs knives.We have a lot larger problem than guns that is leading to all of this. I'm not even close to knowledgeable enough about it all to know what specifically is the issue, but it certainly seems to be more prevalent in the...
